this bill does not create new taxes or increase existing tax taxes. instead, the bill will help states and cities collect billions in unpaid taxes already owed, reducing the need to raise new taxes on tax compliant businesses and citizens. indeed, yesterday i was with my governor and he indicated that if we could pass this at the federal level and allow the state of rhode island to collect approximately $70 million a year, he would propose a reduction in our sales tax, which would benefit all the people in rhode island and also benefit the businesses in rhode island because they would have a smaller sales tax margin to pay. so this is a proposal that i think is not only necessary, it's long overdue. in 2012, as i've indicated, rhode island estimated it lost approximately $70 million in uncollected revenue. the revenue was legally owed but because of this loophole, it went uncollected. this puts pressure on individuals and businesses that play by the rules. indeed, if the marketplace fairness act becomes law, rhode island has provisions in state law, a
